Google just set a 2029 deadline to migrate to quantum-safe encryption, years ahead of government targets, citing the risk that encrypted data is already being collected for future decryption.

Good.

As they mentioned, “The threat to encryption is relevant today with store-now-decrypt-later attacks”.

We already know governments regularly hoover up all the data they can through taps into internet backbones, service provider takeovers, ISP snooping, etc. Why the hell would we let them keep collecting data they’ll just decrypt later when it’s feasible to?
